Python 2.7 got removed from Github Actions / setup-python

[mauritsvanrees]

See the latest 5.2 run. It says:

Version 2.7 with arch x64 not found. The list of all available versions can be found here: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/actions/python-versions/main/versions-manifest.json

There is indeed no mention of 2.7 in there.

Ah, going to the job shows a bit more:

Warning: The support for python 2.7 will be removed on June 19. Related issue: https://github.com/actions/setup-python/issues/672

The comments contain some hints we could try, like this:

runs-on: ubuntu-20.04
    container:
      image: python:2.7.18-buster

I should refrain from trying that today, I am letting myself get too distracted already.

Seems this is fixed already 🎉
